In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', there are five [[frog]]s that can be located underneath [[Zora River]] who call themselves the '''Fabulous Five Froggish Tenors'''.<ref>{{cite|Look at us, we're all huge frogs!! We are the world famous Fabulous Five Froggish Tenors!!

A successful tune engages a sudden growth spurt in one of the frogs, and the group promptly awards Link with 50 [[rupee]]s. Once all five frogs have grown, a mini-game can be activated where Link must follow the tune which the frogs play, in order to make them leap to catch the butterflies suspended above their heads. The reward is a [[Heart Container#Piece of Heart|Heart Piece]]. Playing the Song of Storms for them also rewards Link with a Heart Piece.

The five frogs also have their own [[Terminan]] counterpart in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. They form part of [[Don Gero]]'s Frog Choir, and if all five frogs are gathered together in [[Mountain Village]] during the spring, they will award Link with a Piece of Heart if he conducts them wearing [[Don Gero's Mask]].

The Kokiri Forest is a village from Ocarina of Time. It serves as the home of the Kokiri tribe as well as its guardian spirit, the Great Deku Tree.[1] The Kokiri Forest is known to be the source of life, maintaining the order of the world and deterring outsiders from ever entering the so-called forbidden forest.[2][3] The forest serves as Link's hometown.

The village and forest region comprises the central part of the Lost Woods. It is located in the southeastern region of Hyrule, and it is accessed through the Lost Woods by crossing a small bridge. It is said that no Kokiri can ever leave the woods, or they will die.[4] The forest itself is a pleasant village filled with tree-houses. There is a training ground in the northern section of the forest, where it is said the Kokiri Sword lies hidden. There is also a shop which sells Deku Shields, amongst other things.

The Kokiri Forest is actually home to the Great Deku Tree's Meadow and is a safe haven, compared to the rest of the Lost Woods. The entrance into the Lost Woods is found on a cliff overlooking the Kokiri Forest village. It is also through the Lost Woods that the Sacred Forest Meadow can ultimately be reached.

History

It is in this small village that young Link starts his adventure in Ocarina of Time. After venturing inside the Great Deku Tree to save him from Queen Gohma, the Great Deku Tree withered and died. Seven years later, upon retrieving the Master Sword from its pedestal, Link returns to the once-peaceful village to find the forest overrun by monsters such as Deku Babas, Mad Scrubs, and Skulltulas, among others. Fearing the monsters, all the Kokiri have taken refuge inside their homes. They mention that, ever since the Great Deku Tree died, monsters have begun to appear all over the forest.[5] Link then goes to the Forest Temple to defeat Phantom Ganon in order to break the curse on the temple and awaken Saria as the Sage of the Forest. By doing so, the Deku Tree Sprout is born and the Kokiri Forest returns to normal.

Theory

Theory Warning

The Kokiri Forest is Link's original hometown. Although he isn't a Kokiri, it was where he grew up and is home to his closest friends. By looking at the map in Twilight Princess, Ordon Village seems to be built in the Kokiri village area, though no remains of the Kokiri are seen, with exception of Link's tree home.
